(NY Daily News) Taliban Jihadists staged a suicide car bombing and then engaged in a gun fight with security forces outside the American Consulate in the western Afghan City of Herat early Friday.

Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility on behalf of the Islamic Jihadist organization and is reported to have said according to Australian Broadcasting Corp in a statement emailed to reporters, “Our aim for this attack is to show the Americans that they are not safe anywhere in this country.”

The Obama Administration has yet to say if this assault on the U.S. Consulate in Afghanistan was another spontaneous attack as result of a second YouTube video or not?

On the 7 August, 2011 I wrote here that subsequent to the death of Osama bin-Laden, President Obama told the nation that he is willing to negotiate a peace treaty with the Taliban the same group in Afghanistan responsible for shooting down a Chinook helicopter which claimed the lives of 31 American Special Forces soldiers in early August, 2011 and that harbored Al-Qaeda terrorist thugs in the years leading up to 9/11
